Chapter 23: The Dream Reader (2)
Liu Mengwei hurriedly said goodbye to Qiu Yuchuan.
The way he looked at him made her feel uncomfortable, and Liu Mengwei felt that he was like a mountain lion that smelled blood, ready to rush up and bite his throat.
Walking out of the gate of the research institute, the morning dew and fresh air made her feel much more comfortable.
She saw a familiar car parked next to her car.
Ling Feng poked his head out of the car window, his haggard and tired expression was visible to the naked eye. As long as the case is not solved, they have little time to rest.
"Why are you here?" Liu Mengwei was taken aback, but his mood was inexplicably better, a righteous person can always bring a sense of security to people.
"Our technical team monitors the roads here in real time, and automatically alerts you whenever there are suspicious people or vehicles." Ling Feng said.
Liu Meng smiled: "It turns out that I am a suspicious person. ”
Ling Feng also smiled: "It's not that you are suspicious, it's just that the time when you appeared was a little unusual, so the alarm was still triggered, so I'll come over and take a look." ”
"Do you think Gu Bird would come so blatantly?" Liu Mengwei felt that he was thinking too simply.
"I'm worried that if he knows that you are the one who advocated sending Lin Xuerou here, he will be angry with you."
His voice sounded a kind of jerky tenderness, Liu Meng was slightly stunned, and a trace of guilt suddenly arose in his heart. She didn't know if hiding Lin Xuerou in this research institute would be able to lure out the Gu Bird, but at least that was not her original intention. And Ling Feng took this suggestion she made so seriously, and even thought about it even more. If nothing is achieved in the end, efforts are in vain, blood is extinguished by reality, expectations are disappointed again and again, the sun and the moon are reversed, and good people have no good reward, in that case, how can people deal with themselves?
"What's wrong with you?" Ling Feng called softly again.
She came to her senses and didn't dare to look him in the eye again. Walked to the passenger seat and pulled the car door, sat in, and sighed: "It's so cold outside!" ”
Ling Feng turned on the air conditioner in the car and turned it to the highest gear, and a warm breeze instantly blew away the cold air she brought in from outside.
"Why are you going out at this time?" Ling Feng coughed lightly and changed the subject.
"I can't sleep and want to drive out for a ride." After saying that, she herself felt that this reason was very bad, but it didn't matter, Ling Feng was not a person who was willing to pursue these trivial matters, unlike Wen Qiao, the man with gloomy eyes suddenly appeared in her mind.
Sincerity is such a beautiful quality, but some people don't deserve it. She thought with some sadness that she would rather face Wen Qiao, two people who hid secrets from each other, and they could go toe-to-toe with bayonets without having to feel sorry for each other.
"Do you think there are ghosts in this world?" Liu Mengwei suddenly asked faintly. In front of the tall glass window of the research institute, a small figure wearing a hospital gown stood Lin Xuerou.
Ling Feng was a little confused, her topic jumped too quickly, but she still thought about her question seriously: "I don't think so, if there are really ghosts in this world, those heinous murderous demons can still immortalize their souls after being tried by the law, in this case, what order is there?" ”
Seeing that Liu Meng didn't speak, Ling Feng asked rhetorically, "So...... What is Professor Liu's view on this issue? ”
"The human soul, or consciousness, is attached to matter, which we now generally think of as the brain. And after the annihilation of the physical body, does consciousness really dissipate out of thin air? It really existed, and everyone could feel it, but now it has lost its attachment and can only wander like a ghost in another plane. It cannot return to the body of the dead, because it has become something like grass and stone, nor can it take possession of the body of the living, because there is already a much stronger master than it. ”
The North Star on the horizon is still bright.
"The human brain is a masterpiece of natural evolution, capable of thinking, reasoning, creating, and producing what we call 'consciousness'. But is that all? Why do dark, damp forests, claustrophobic and silent wildernesses, and dark nights make hairs stand on end? There is nothing there, so why is our consciousness disturbed? What is disturbing our nerves? Liu Mengwei asked.
"You think it's the wandering ghosts? So, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world? Ling Feng looked at her with a complicated look.
Liu Mengwei also felt his strange emotions, and just said: "There are too many unsolved mysteries in this world, we are just ants crawling on white paper, we can only crawl from one corner to another in an orderly manner, but we don't have the ability to fold the paper, so that we can reach the sky in one step." ”
Ling Feng laughed a little embarrassedly: "It's better that there are no ghosts in this world, things in the world are already so annoying, if there is another thing like this, then I'm afraid it will be chaotic." ”
"Those you hate, wish they would disappear immediately, but what about those you love? Do you want to hold on to it, even if it's to see another phantom, or to have a dream as you wish? ”
Ling Feng's heart sank, his life had not yet experienced the pain of life and death of his loved ones, his parents and friends were there, and this journey could be regarded as smooth and smooth. Although I have had several experiences for the rest of my life, after all, I have not lost it, and if I haven't really lost it, I can't talk about my personal experience.
A person appeared next to Lin Xuerou's thin figure, and Qiu Yuchuan stood side by side with her in front of the window on the third floor and looked down at the vehicles below.
Qiu Yuchuan gently put his hand on the girl's shoulder, his lips moved, as if he was muttering: "She ran so fast, I really shouldn't have let her go just now." So much so that I missed her after just a short time away, can you call her back? ”
He leaned down and whispered softly in the girl's ear, as if reciting a spell: "Open the door, get out of it, and come back to me." ”
The girl spoke slowly, her voice like a soft song: "Open the car door, get out of it, and come back to me." ”
She said it three times in a row before she stopped.
Before the words fell, they saw a person coming out of the car parked downstairs, it was Liu Mengwei.
Qiu Yuchuan's eyes widened in surprise.
But Liu Mengwei did not walk in the direction of the research institute, but walked towards another car, which was her own car.
Qiu Yuchuan was a little anxious: "Keep her quickly!" Call her back! ”
But the girl just looked up at him with empty eyes, as if she didn't understand what he meant.
Qiu Yuchuan said with some disappointment: "Even if you can see other people's dreams, you can't understand a woman's heart." ”
"Ghosts."
"What?"
"She's thinking about ghosts."
Qiu Yuchuan was also stunned, this was not what he expected.
"I know a ghost." Another bombshell.
Qiu Yuchuan quickly reacted: "Where did you meet?" In someone else's dream or in your own? ”
"Her name is Jasmine."
"Is it ......" Suddenly, Qiu Yuchuan looked at her fixedly: "You can still remember?" ”
Lin Xuerou turned around and took out a few pieces of paper from the drawer and handed them to him. Above is a stick figure portrait of a girl, with a melon seed face, almond eyes, long hair braided into two braids, and the only peculiar thing is that there is a round mark the size of a broad bean on the tip of her right eyebrow, which is curved like a hooked moon.
"This is Jasmine?" Qiu Yuchuan asked, "Your ghost friend?" So where is she now? ”
Lin Xuerou suddenly pointed to her eyebrows.
"And who are you?" Qiu Yuchuan asked excitedly.
"Me? I am who I am, not anyone, and I can be anyone. I am a butterfly when I dream of butterflies, and I am a jasmine when I dream of jasmine. ”
"This ...... It's amazing! Qiu Yuchuan was so excited that he was a little incoherent: "Which stone are you jumping out of the fairy monster?" ”
Qiu Yuchuan walked around her a few times: "Then do you know who Lin Xuerou is?" ”
The girl's pupils shrank and her body trembled slightly, but she still said, "I don't know." ”
"Your body responds to the name, but your brain doesn't remember it. The body looks like Lin Xuerou, but the inside is blank, dreams can come in, ghosts can also come in, they can borrow your body, you can be them. Qiu Yuchuan concluded: "It's so much fun! ”。
"It's a pity that your brain can only keep memories for half an hour, and after that time, those shadows will disappear." Qiu Yuchuan said with some regret.
"But why do you remember Jasmine? Is there anything special about this ghost? Qiu Yuchuan was talking to himself while pacing carelessly, not paying the slightest attention to the eyes behind him that were staring at him angrily.
